Here's one for my fellow old-timers in the group:
On one of my Linux boxes, I have a 5" floppy which I haven't used since I
purged the MS stuff from it. I wanted to read some ancient data on it. My
3.5" floppy is /dev/fd0, so I expect this to be /dev/fd1. Linux didn't
assign fd1 to the fstab table (no surprise) so I tried editing it manually.
This is the entry I added:
/dev/fd1h1200 /mnt/floppy2 msdos defaults 0 0
When I attempt to mount it an old HD floppy, the error message is that
there's either a bad superblock, bad fs type, or bad option. I've tried
more than one, in case the first was bad, and yes, I have created the
/mnt/floppy2 directory and made it look exactly like /mnt/floppy.
Can anybody see something I might be missing?
Thanks,
